Visitors to the Cornfield:Mystified
“Conjuration" is the act of calling upon, invoking or summoning a spirit, ghosts, demons,
gods or other supernatural beings by means of a magic ritual.
In this painting, the central figure is the powerful Conjuror. In the right hand the figure is holding a feather and in the left has captured one of the seven sister stars of the Pleiades.
The conjuror is surrounded by a golden halo and has a white eagle on the head.
According to some legends the feather will blow in the wind & carry prayers to the Creator, hopefully, evoking the spirits to bring rain and keep harmful entities at bay. The white eagle connects to the spiritual side and is a sign of a spiritual teacher.
I wanted this painting to be spiritually evocative representing the Holy trinity.
The other figures, part of the Holy Trinity, are the Shield Maidens. These figures are influenced by Native American and Viking cultures. Their regalia ( fine & decorative clothing ) is my own mode of symbolic self expression.
This painting is a continuation of my other series- “Visitors to the Cornfield” and “The Galax Gemini” which are a collection of free floating visitors from another world.30
